...is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.'" That's right out of the present moment, b'jasus, know just how the lad feels. Maybe this pursuit of Carr wasn't such a bad idea after all, if it will produce more material for ULYSSES. A man of genius such as myself makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.
But would you keep it down in the next room, what is it you're doing, target practice?! Should have gotten a room apart from all the rest of squabbling, spying humanity, but what with Carr cheating me out of my money, I couldn't afford better. Tomorow I'm going to the - what is it they're calling it, Provisional Government - and see what sort of courts they have. What good's a revolution, I'd like to know, if it doesn't hold first the rights of the artist? That Miss Goldman can put me onto the correct people to see - if I can only find her. Probably have to ask Carr, he'll be off looking for Miss Carruthers before long to make his tea, sew his buttons - over-natty philistine.
Not a bad actor, though....I wonder if anyone in St. Petersburg would come to see "The Importance of Being Earnest." No, bad choice - "The Cherry Orchard" would be better. Or Schnitzler's "Undiscovered Country," he'd like that, got a duel in it.
Begob, the things an artist has to do to survive in an unappreciative world.
